Re: The Great Books! ( And What Are You Currently Reading? )

He read 2 pages at the same time with one eye per page, in a few seconds. Plus he could remember about 95% of the phrasing. But I think it's nearly impossible to get beyond 350 wpm. Even in my native language and depending on the text, I'd be loosing too much context.

Regarding the thread, I can highly recommend the authors Dennis Lehane and Michael Connelly. If you like Crime fiction that is. From Lehane "Prayers for rain" is my favourite and you can't be wrong with any book of the Harry Bosch series by Connelly. :P

Re: The Great Books! ( And What Are You Currently Reading? )

I'm thinking of reading "Inherent Vice", only because one of my favorite film directors, Paul Thomas Anderson, is doing an adaptation of it. Anyone ever read this book and if so, is it worth reading first...?.
